Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

Jorge Sáenz is a 29-year-old central defender at Leganes, rated 33.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 356th of 452 on scout potential in the Segunda División. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sáenz.

Judged on this season alone, Sáenz graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets and 4.277 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 54th of 79 of the 79 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 29 Sáenz is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.8, Sáenz carries the 54th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
